      Lyrics

      Lover lover let's pretend

      We're born as innocents

      Cast into the world

      With apple eyes

      To wish wish dangerous

      My dear delirious

      To try and leave

      The rest of us behind

      Shot full of diamonds

      And a million years

      The disappointed disappear

      Like they were never here

      Kiss kiss all of this

      The hiss that we had missed

      And understand what can't be understood

      Sear those thoughts of me

      Alone and unhappy

      I never liked me anyway

      If by chance

      Or circumstance

      We should fail

      Don't be so sad

      Shot full of diamonds

      And a million years

      The disappointed disappear

      Like they were never here

      In a dream

      We are connected

      Siamese twins

      At the wrist

      And then I knew we'd been forsaken

      Expelled from paradise

      I can't believe them

      When they say that it's alright

      Words can't define what I feel inside

      Who needs them?

      Caught with this virus of my mind

      I give in to my disease, of my needs

      To my disease, of my needs

      She really loves to break

      Her dad says its OK

      She really loves to break

      And give it all away

      Her ma says she's afraid

      What more can she fake

      She really needs to break

      And give herself away

      She gave it all away

      She gave it all away

      She gave it all away

      We really love the USA

      Lyrics

      Quiet

      I am sleeping

      In here

      We need a little hope

      For years

      I've been sleeping

      Helpless

      Couldn't tell a soul

      Be ashamed

      Of the mess you've made

      My eyes never forget, you see

      Behind me

      Silent

      Metal mercies

      Castrate

      Boys to the bone

      Jesus

      Are you listening?

      Up there

      To anyone at all

      We are the fossils

      The relics of our time

      We mutilate the meanings

      So they're easy to deny

      Be ashamed

      Of the mess you've made

      My eyes never forget, you see

      Behind me

      Quiet

      I am sleeping

      Quiet

      I am sleeping

      Quiet

      I don't trust you

      I can't hear you

      Be ashamed

      Of the mess you've made

      My eyes never forget, you see

      Behind me

      Behind me

      The grace of falling snow

      Cover up everything you know

      Come save me from the awful sound

      Of nothing

      Lyrics

      Today is the greatest

      Day I've ever known

      Can't live for tomorrow,

      Tomorrow's much too long

      I'll burn my eyes out

      Before I get out

      I wanted more

      Than life could ever grant me

      Bored by the chore

      Of saving face

      Today is the greatest

      Day I've ever known

      Can't wait for tomorrow

      I might not have that long

      I'll tear my heart out

      Before I get out

      Pink ribbon scars

      That never forget

      I tried so hard

      To cleanse these regrets

      My angel wings

      Were bruised and restrained

      My belly stings

      Today is

      Today is

      Today is

      The greatest day

      I want to turn you on

      I want to turn you on

      I want to turn you on

      I want to turn you

      Today is the greatest

      Today is the greatest day

      Today is the greatest day

      That I have ever really known

      Lyrics

      I am one as you are three

      Try to find messiah in your trinity

      Your city to burn

      Your city to burn

      Try to look for something

      In your city to burn, you'll burn

      Am I as I seem?

      I'm down

      Down, so down

      Time is right for a guiding light

      Try to turn to reasons in your bitter life

      Your city to burn

      Your city to burn

      Try to look for something

      In your city to burn, you'll burn

      See you, don't you just want to

      See you, I am one

      See you, don't you just want to

      See you

      See you, don't you just want to

      See you, I am one

      See you, don't you just want to

      See you, I am one

      "Now it's, uh, kind of strange, and, uh, kinda hard for me to talk about, but I thought maybe you could help- um, when we start getting physical, rather than having intercourse, he ends up just masturbating himself, and I end up feeling very alienated and unsatisfied, and it's really come between us-"

      Lyrics

      Feel it

      Break your bones

      Mr. Jones

      Taste me

      As I bleed

      Taste my need

      And spaceboy I've missed you

      Spinning round my head

      And any way you choose me

      You'll break instead

      Watch me

      Death defy

      Defile my life

      I don't need

      I don't care

      Please

      I want to go home

      I want to go home

      I want to go home

      I want to go home

      'Cause when a lover aches

      That's when a lover breaks

      I want to go home

      I want to go home

      And spaceboy they'll kill me

      Before I'm dead and gone

      And any way you choose me

      It won't be wrong

      And anyway you choose me

      We won't belong

      We won't belong

      We won't belong

      We won't belong

      We won't belong

      We won't belong

      Lyrics

      Bleed in your own light

      Dream of your own life

      I miss me

      I miss everything I'll never be

      And on, and on

      I torch my soul to show

      The world that I am pure

      Deep inside my heart

      No more lies

      A crown of horns

      An image formed deformed

      The mark I've borne

      A mark of scorn to you

      Consume my love, devour my hate

      Only powers my escape

      The moon is out, the stars invite

      I think I'll leave tonight

      So soon I'll find myself alone

      To relax and fade away

      Do you know what's coming down

      Do you know I couldn't stay free?

      I shall be free

      I shall be free

      I shall be free

      I shall be free

      I shall be free free

      Free of those voices inside me

      I shall be free

      I shall be free

      Lyrics

      Freak out

      And give in

      Doesn't matter what you believe in

      Stay cool

      And be somebody's fool this year

      'Cause they know

      Who is righteous, What is bold

      So I'm told

      Who wants honey

      As long as there's some money

      Who wants that honey?

      Hipsters unite

      Come align for the big fight to rock for you

      But beware

      All those angels with their wings glued on

      'Cause deep down

      We are frightened and we're scared

      If you don't stare

      Who wants honey

      As long as there's some money

      Who wants that honey?

      Let me out

      Let me out

      Let me out

      Let me out

      Tell me all of your secrets

      Cannot help but believe this is true

      Tell me all of your secrets

      I know, I know, I know,

      Should have listened when I was told

      Who wants honey

      As long as there is some money

      Who wants that honey?

      Let me out

      Let me out

      Let me out

      Let me out

"I met this girl in Dallas when we were on tour with the chili peppa's and that was where I got the idea for the name for the song because when she said her name I thought wow, what a great title for a song. 2 1/4 years later I run into this same girl at a party and I say did you hear that song we recorded using your name, Starla? And she said, no my name is Darla but hey Starla, Darla whatever it doesn't matter, so there you go. Never trust a girl who ends up with well I can't say."

      Lyrics

      I'm in here

      Please take me home

      Starla dear, I'm all alone

      When you can't decide what's on your mind, it's clear

      I'm near

      Starla dear

      To disappear takes some more time

      Starla dear, you're on my mind

      Soon, soon I'll be leaving

      Soon, soon I'll be leaving

      I hear all you're saying

      I hear all you're failing

      Please take me home

      Starla dear, I'm all alone

      When you can't decide what's on your mind, it's clear

      I'm here

      Starla dear

      Serve yourself

      No one else can do for you like you

      No one else fails like me

      In my eyes I burn alive

      Fly like a bird

      No more words just you and I

      Lyrics

      Disarm you with a smile

      And cut you like you want me to

      Cut that little child

      Inside of me and such a part of you

      Ooh, the years burn

      I used to be a little boy

      So old in my shoes

      And what I choose is my choice

      What's a boy supposed to do?

      The killer in me is the killer in you

      My love

      I send this smile over to you

      Disarm you with a smile

      And leave you like they left me here

      To wither in denial

      The bitterness of one who's left alone

      Ooh, the years burn

      Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

      I used to be a little boy

      So old in my shoes

      And what I choose is my voice

      What's a boy supposed to do?

      The killer in me is the killer in you

      My love

      I send this smile over to you

      The killer in me is the killer in you

      Send this smile over to you

      The killer in me is the killer in you

      Send this smile over to you

      The killer in me is the killer in you

      Send this smile over to you

      Lyrics

      No matter where you are

      I can still hear you when you drown

      You've traveled very far

      Just to see you I'll come around

      When I'm down

      All of those yesterdays

      Coming around

      No matter where you are

      I can still hear you when you dream (on some versions, "scream")

      You traveled very far

      You traveled far, like a star

      And you are

      All of those yesterdays

      Coming around

      Is it something someone said?

      Was it something someone said?

      Yesterday the sky was you

      And I still feel the same

      Nothing left for me to do

      And I still feel the same

      I wish, I wish I could fly

      I wish, I wish I could lie

      I will, I will try

      I will, I will

      Goodbye

      Lyrics

      I hear your winter

      I hear you rain

      I've failed your summer ways

      And I feel no pain

      I hear what you want

      And I feel that way

      I hear what you want

      And I feel that way

      I hear you fade away

      And I hear you crawl

      I gave my life away

      And I feel no pain

      And I feel no pain

      And I feel no pain

      And I feel your pain

      And she was my lover so sweet

      And she was my angel

      And what I've recovered of me

      I put into a box underneath my bed

      When you lie in your bed

      And you lie to yourself

      When you lie in your bed

      And you lie to yourself

      Lie

      Lie

      Bang bang you're dead hole in your head

      Bang bang you're dead hole in your head

      Bang bang you're dead hole in your head

      Bang bang you're dead hole in your head

      I hear what you want

      And I feel that way

      I hear what you want

      And I feel that way

      Lyrics

      Fool enough to almost be it

      Cool enough to not quite see it

      Doomed

      Pick your pockets full of sorrow

      And run away with me tomorrow

      June

      We'll try and ease the pain

      But somehow we'll feel the same

      Well, no one knows

      Where our secrets go

      I send a heart to all my dearies

      When your life is so, so dreary

      Dream

      I'm rumored to the straight and narrow

      While the harlots of my perils

      Scream

      And I fail

      But when I can, I will

      Try to understand

      That when I can, I will

      Mother weep the years I'm missing

      All our time can't be given

      Back

      Shut my mouth and strike the demons

      That cursed you and your reasons

      Out of hand and out of season

      Out of love and out of feeling

      So bad

      When I can, I will

      Words defy the plans

      When I can, I will

      Fool enough to almost be it

      And cool enough to not quite see it

      And old enough to always feel this

      Always old, I'll always feel this

      No more promise no more sorrow

      No longer will I follow

      Can anybody hear me

      I just want to be me

      When I can, I will

      Try to understand

      That when I can, I will

      Lyrics

      I spin off and lose my head

      Throwing stray a spark instead

      Gather strength down in my heel

      And dig it in the world I peel

      Way down deep within my heart

      Lies a soul that's torn apart

      Tell me, tell me what your after

      I just want to get there faster

      I don't live - I inhale

      I don't give - I unveil

      Don't want to live in your misery

      I don't live - I inhale

      Sprinkle all my kisses on your head

      Stars full of wishes fill our beds

      She said, "I'm dead"

      All this pain smothers me

      Like a bomb that you can't see

      Tell me, tell me what your after

      I just want to get there faster

      I don't live - I inhale

      I don't give - I unveil

      I don't live - I inhale

      I don't live

      When you wish upon a star

      Makes no difference who you are

      Anything your heart desires

      Will come to you

      If your heart is in your dream

      No request is too extreme

      When you wish upon a star

      As dreamers do

      Fate is kind

      She brings to those to love

      The sweet fulfillment of

      Their secret longing

      Like a bolt out of the blue

      Fate steps in and sees you through

      When you wish upon a star

      Your dreams come true

      Lyrics

      I was born long ago

      I am the chosen I'm the one

      I have come to save the day

      And I won't leave until I'm done

      So that's why you've got to try

      You got to breath and have some fun

      Though I'm not paid I play this game

      And I won't stop until I'm done

      But what I really want to know is

      Are you gonna go my way?

      And I got to got to know

      I don't know why we always cry

      This we must leave and get undone

      We must engage and rearrange

      And turn this planet back to one

      So tell me why we got to die

      And kill each other one by one

      We've got to love and rub-a-dub

      We've got to dance and be in love

      But what I really want to know is

      Are you gonna go my way?

      And I got to got to know

      Are you gonna go my way?

      'Cause baby I got to know

      Yeah
